Non, the everyday bread of Uzbek tables, is traditionally baked in a tandoor. This oven-baked version incorporates soaked stale bread into the dough to reduce waste and keep the crumb moist. It is topped with cumin and nigella seeds before baking.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soak the stale bread

10 min

Soak the stale bread in warm water for 10 minutes to soften it, then mash it thoroughly by hand.

2

Knead the dough

15 min

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let stand for 5 minutes. Add the salt, oil, soaked stale bread, and yeast mixture to the flour, then knead into a smooth dough.

3

Let the dough rise

45 min

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size.

4

Shape the bread

5 min

Divide and shape the dough into rounds. Press lightly in the center with your fingers to make grooves, then sprinkle with cumin and nigella seeds.

5

Bake

20 min

Bake the bread in an oven preheated to 220°C / 430°F until the top is deep golden brown.

Reminder

Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place; rising takes much longer in a cold environment. Allergen: Contains wheat (gluten).
